EASY GPRS

An ISO 9001-2008 Certified Company Order Code RDL/UPS/13/001/V1.0

Easy GPRS
Easy GPRS module provides an easy way for network set up and establishing the GPRS connectivity between the GPRS modem and the Microcontroller or host. Easy GPRS module converts the serial data packets to the required GPRS packets and vice versa. User need not worry about the GPRS instruction sets. It can be interfaced to any microcontroller or any host via serial or USB interface.

Features
Easily configurable with hyperterminal or putty. RS232 as well as TTL data. LED indicator. Power supply using USB or burg stick.

Applications
Automotive and Marine Navigation Automotive Navigator Tracking

Emergency Locator

Working
GPRS TTL -Modem is built with SIMCOM Make SIM900 Quad band GSM/GPRS engine, works on frequencies 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900MHz. It is very compact in size and easy to use as plug in GSM Modem. The Modem is designed with 3V3/5V TTL interfacing circuitry, which allows you to directly interface to 5V microcontrollers( PIC, Arduino, AVR ect) as well as 3V3 Microcontrollers ( ARM,ARM Cortex XX, ect) .The baud rate can be configurable from 9600-115200 through AT command. Initially Modem is in Autobaud mode. This GSM/GPRS TTL Modem is having internal TCP/IP stack to enable you to connect with internet via GPRS. It is suitable for SMS as well as DATA transfer application in M2M interface. The modem needed only two wires (Tx, Rx) except Power supply to

interface with microcontroller/Host. The built in Low Dropout Linear voltage regulator allows you to connect wide range of unregulated power supply (4.2V 13V). Yes, 5 V is in between !! .Using this modem, you will be able to send & Read SMS, connect to internet via GPRS through simple AT commands. Serial Interfaces The GSM module is designed as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment), following the traditional DCE-DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) connection. The GSM Modem and the client (DTE) are connected through the following signal (as following figure shows). Autobauding supports baud rate from 1200bps to 57600bps. Serial port

TXD: Send data to the RXD signal line of the DTE RXD: Receive data from the TXD signal line of the DTE serial port of the GSM engine supports autobauding for the following baud rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200,38400 and 57600bps. Factory setting is autobauding enabled. This gives you the flexibility to put the GSMengine into operation no matter what baud rate your host application is configured to. AT Command Syntax When DCE powers on with the autobauding enabled, user must first send A to synchronize the baud rate. It is recommended to wait 2 to 3 seconds before sending AT character. After receiving the OK response, DTE and DCE are correctly synchronized The AT or at prefix must be set at the beginning of each Command. To terminate a Command line enter <CR> , otherwise known as carriage return or \r. Commands are followed by a response that includes <CR><LF><response><CR><LF>. Only the responses are presented in the document here, <CR><LF> are omitted intentionally. Example: With Local Echo enabled: Transmit: AT\r Receive: AT\r\r\nOK\r\n
